Chapter 220

After listening to his cousin's plan for the future, Emperor Wanyan felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.

Advancing eastward and annexing Sanhan was originally his ruling plan before he took the throne, but he was restrained by the elders of the clan in the early days of his reign, and fell into a struggle with his cousin in the middle of his reign, and now he is being held up by his son Wanyan Kangtai.

Thirty years, a full thirty years of reign, he didn't do anything.

Now that my cousin has gotten what he wants, how much time does my cousin have left?

He is almost sixty years old, and his old appearance has been revealed, and the average life expectancy of the Jurchen long-lived people is that there will be another ten years at most, and his cousin will have to hand over the power.

If you don't pay it, the end will only be worse.

The promotion of the Han system is just a promotion, far from being integrated into the bottom of the group, the Mesozoic and new generations of the group will not be willing to be led by an old wolf who is so old that he has lost his teeth, even if this group of old wolves was the wolf king and is an invincible commander.

Ten years is simply not enough to finish Yan Wenqi's work.

……

"Our hero is back, let's go, let's go together to meet ......"

Yuyang, Tianjin Port, the dock where five Xuanwu gunboats slowly sailed into, Nian Run, dressed in crimson official robes, walked quickly towards the first Xuanwu gunboat with a group of generals wearing bright armor.

The Xuanwu gunboat, the pinnacle of the Quanzhou shipyard in the Ming Dynasty, combines the advantages of Chinese and Western gunboats, with a length of 180 paces, a width of 33 steps, five decks up and down, and eighteen guns on each side of the two decks, driven by three sails, which can sail 300 miles in one day and night, and 450 miles in the case of downstream.

In order to build a Xuanwu gunboat, the Ming Dynasty needed to spend 600,000 taels of silver, at least 19 months of construction, and now the case has found that the Xuanwu gunboat, a total of 21, divided into six fleets to carry out the task.

In order to support the actions of the Wu Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty transferred five Xuanwu gunboats in one go, which is enough to see that the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to Wu.

It's a pity that the tonnage of the Xuanwu gunboats is too heavy, the draft is too deep, they can't enter the Yellow River, they can't enter the canal, and the Yangtze River can only sail to Zhenjiang, otherwise with the gunboats, the Song Dynasty and the Chu State will not dare to provoke the Ming at all.

"This Xuanwu gunboat is really spectacular, far more majestic than what is presented on paper!"

"It is worthy of the Dinghai Shenshen Needle of the Ming Dynasty, I heard that this gunboat can fire from a thousand steps away, ten shots and three hits, and it can be directly destroyed by the shore defense without landing at all, and the firing range is three hundred steps longer than our Shenwu artillery, I really don't know how the Ming people did it?"

"With this sharp weapon, it is no wonder that the Ming people can run rampant all over the seas and sweep away all obstacles, if we have a few, we don't need too many, three, and the Wu Dynasty can turn the Bohai Sea into an inland sea!"

The Wu Dynasty, which occupied Qingzhou, Jizhou, and most of Youzhou, has always regarded the Bohai Sea as its own inland sea.

Regarded as an inland sea, it is only regarded as an inland sea, and I don't know how much gap there is between it and the real inland sea.

But with the Xuanwu gunboats, it's not that far!

"Don't dream, the technology of the Xuanwu gunboat, the Ming people will not give it, even if we are allies now, I heard that more than ten years ago, after the Ming Dynasty used the Xuanwu gunboat for the first time, it attracted the peep of Western pirates, and wanted to seize the ship to take the Xuanwu gunboat as their own, in order to seize the three ships, the Semu pirates dispatched more than 30 warships, and set up an ambush with Manchurian Thorn and overseas, but the hair was not caught!" A veteran general in the army sighed.

Tonnage is not the most attractive force of the Xuanwu gunboat, after all, it is the turn of the tonnage, and there are Zhenhai-class, Zhenyuan-class, and two-grade giant treasure ships above the Xuanwu gunboat, and the real power of the Xuanwu gunboat is the artillery above, as well as the weakening process of the hull itself on the recoil of the artillery.

"The Xuanwu level can't be done, should there be hope for the Xuanwu turtle, I can say that I heard that the Ming Dynasty will train three hundred shipwrights for us in the covenant, these people have already set off in March, and in three years, they should learn something!"

Xuangui is the previous generation of Xuanwu gunboats, and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the maritime merchants came out of the Manchurian dependence, although they were completely backward with the Xuanwu gunboats, but they also belonged to the first-class warships in the four seas.

"Hopefully!"

Of course, it is good to have dreams, but dreams cannot become reality, they can only be dreams.

"Where is three years enough, in all kinds of technology, we are at least 20 years behind the Song people, 10 years behind the Ming people, a single shipbuilding, the gap is more than 30 years!"

The fact that the generals of the Wu Dynasty were proficient in cavalry strategy did not mean that they were not familiar with naval warfare.

O Woko!

The Japanese also have brains, knowing that persimmons should be pinched softly, and if they can't pinch the Ming Dynasty, then pinch the Wu Dynasty, and if they can't pinch the Wu Dynasty, they will pinch the three Hans.

In the past hundred years, the Wu Dynasty has dealt with the Japanese and learned about naval warfare.

"What can we do in thirty years, slowly chasing after it, until it is the Song people, it is the time that we need to consider!"

After that, the veterans fell silent.

The contract is in, and there will be no dirt between Ming and Wu in the short term.

The contract is not there, the Xuanwu gunboats are powerful, and they can't land after all, even if the Ming Dynasty smashes several seaside docks of the Wu Dynasty, they can retaliate in Xuzhou.

As long as the Wu Dynasty does not go to the sea, the threat of the Ming Dynasty to the Wu Dynasty will be there after all, far less than the Song people, who worry about your things at home all day long.

After cursing, the gunboat steadied up, and the ropes with thick arms were thrown off the gunboat, and the workers who had long been familiar with the rules of docking ships in the Ming Dynasty rushed up at the first time, and the corridor was erected, and soon a corridor for three people to walk in parallel pounced back.

The Wu Dynasty attached great importance to this side and sent Nian Run, and the Ming people were not bad, Pinghai Marquis Song Jia took a group of Ming Dynasty military generals, and the delegation led by Zhang Gaodong, a scholar of Longyuan University in the Ming Dynasty, belonged to six columns, and they were already standing on the deck.

Five Xuanwu gunboats, you can make a trip for the covenant, but don't do anything else, then the cost performance is too low.

Now that the war is over and the complementary plan finalized by the Ming and military dynasties in February has been implemented, it is time to discuss a second round of proposals to further strengthen the alliance between the two countries.

"Good work!"

Lan Di, Song Jia, and Zhang Gaodong walked down the dock together, Nian Run greeted him as soon as possible, and said hello to Lan Di simply, and greeted Song Jia and Zhang Gaodong.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to Landi, but in front of the guests, his family can only slack off a little.

"I thought there was still some celebration waiting for us, but I didn't expect that Nian Run's calf was not prepared at all, there was really someone behind him, and he was so bold that even our great heroes were thrown aside!" The commander of the case division looked at the crowd in the distance and said with a playful smile.

"When, what scene, still make this joke with me, if you are willing, you can completely pick up your face and keep up!" Randy was too lazy to take care of his brother.

"Why keep up, continue to be mentally manipulated, right? Didn't get on the Xuanwu gunboat, our side thinks all the year round, the technical gap is only 30 years, but on this Xuanwu gunboat, without 50 years of chasing, we can't catch up at all, this is not only the shipbuilding process, but also the materials, do you dare to believe that most of the materials inside the gunboat are steel? ”

The commander waved his sleeves, "If it weren't for the courtesy of us to invite the armor, I really want to wonder if this is a dismount?" ”

"Aren't they afraid of the ship sinking?"

How can a ship use iron?

Doesn't he sink with iron?

Lan Di and the others were confused about this, but the Ming Dynasty not only used it, but also used it on a large scale.
